Tyriese
Tyriese Origin and Meaning
Tyriese appears to be a variation of Tyrese, which itself likely developed as a creative combination of the prefix 'Ty-' (as in Tyrone, Tyler) with elements possibly inspired by names like Maurice or Reese. The 'Ty-' element is popular in many modern names and may derive from the Greek name Tyrone (meaning 'sovereign') or could be a shortened form of Tyler or Tyson. The name gained some recognition following the success of singer/actor Tyrese Gibson who rose to fame in the late 1990s. Tyriese represents the fluid spelling variations that often develop with contemporary names. The name emerged in usage records during the latter part of the 20th century and exemplifies the trend of creating distinctive masculine names by combining recognizable elements with slight modifications.
